Hundreds of hectares of peatland is being restored in a project which aims to prevent Glasgow's tap water turning brown during extreme rain.

Loch Katrine, in the heart of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, supplies water to 1.3 million homes in and around Scotland's largest city.

But the peat in the hills surrounding the loch has degraded, which allows soil and brown particles from plants to flow into the water.
